modelling of reinforced concrete structural elements in ANSYS
i want to model reinforced concrete beam and column in ansys software.i choose the same solid 70 both for steel and concrete. changed only the material properties. is it ok?
how can i model the stirrups?
if i am using the link33 for steel,how can i do it?
i am going to find the fire resistance of reinforced concrete beams and columns by including the factors required under performance based design and validating the results with real fire test values.
how we include the multilinear properties of concrete in the modelling?
need help on fatigue
hi friends am doin my my project on" FEA of plasticity induced crack closure". my specimen size is 80*80 mm. by using symmetry condition i modelled 1/4th of model in ANSYS. therfore i created 40*40 mm plate. with initial crack length of 4mm.means its MT specimen of 80*80mm with 8 mm crack length, by symmetry condition i modelled 40*40 with 4mm crack lenth.
Free Webinar on Design of High Efficiency Steam Turbine in AxSTREAM
SoftInWay invites engineers to take part in free 1-hour webinar "Design of High Efficiency Steam Turbine in AxSTREAM" that will take place on Thursday, October 21, 2010, at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. EST.
The webinar demonstrates the steps of steam turbine design on 1D/2D level, with particular focus on influence of different factors on turbine efficiency at the following stages of design:
- 1D Preliminary design and optimization: number of stages, geometrical and structural constraint
Two PhD positions available at the University of Auckland, NZ
There are a couple of funded PhD positions available at the University of Auckland, New Zealand.
The topics are, roughly,
1) Advanced material models and variability
2) Biomimetic sensing and adhesion.
The deadline for applications is Friday, October 29, 2010. Please send a current CV, a statement of purpose, and transcripts/grades from your undergraduate work (and master's work if you have a master's degree in a related field).
A Ph.D. Student Position in Computational Material Damage
Ph.D. StudyPOSITION: Ph.D. StudentLOCATION: University of Michigan, Dearborn, Michigan A full-time Ph.D. student position is now open in the area of computational material damage. The applicant should have a strong background in solid mechanics and finite element simulation. Some experience in material science, material testing, and multiscale analysis is a plus. Interested applicants should email their curriculum vitae (if applicable, a list of publications) and electronic copies of main publications to Dr.
How to calculate a shockwave profile
For a steady shock wave, since we know Rankine–Hugoniot relations,and Equation of state,
from downstream values, we can directly calculate upstream values, we know all the quantities, density, particle velocity, specific energy are functions of z (where z=x-ct), but, how to relate these quantities to z, and how to plot a S-Shape curve like density vs. z.
How do you add springs or trusses to an orphan mesh (imported mesh) in Abaqus?

Hello,I am a new user to Abaqus. I created an FE mesh of the human neck using a different software, and successfully imported the .inp file into Abaqus. I need to create either spring or truss elements to the mesh, and I am not sure how to do this, any thoughts? Every time I try to add components, I get an error saying that you can’t change geometry to an orphan mesh. Thanks

Hi viewers,
S-N curve
I am working on plastic behaviour of metal. I am using Abaqus 6.7 for simulation of uniaxial ratcheting of steel under cyclic loading. Modelling and job submission/completion has been done successfully. But I cann't understand where the data for Stresses(S) & number of cycle(N) is strored to draw S-N curve. Please suggest.
